Organizers estimate 1.5 million people gathered around the famous Sydney Harbor Bridge to see the show for themselves. While millions more gathered around their televisions to catch the pyrotechnic masterpiece.

Australian pop star Kylie Minogue had a key role in many of the decisions that were made for that night, including the theme, Embrace for the Celebrations.

Minogue celebrated her 25 years in the music industry by selecting the sound track for the evening's event and had the honor of igniting the entire show with the press of a button.

The show featured 100,000 pyrotechnic works of art this year alone.

Footage of this electrifying midnight show was captured by Best Clips Daily via Sky News. The Best Clips Daily YouTube page says they will be featuring more 2013 New Year’s Celebrations around the world.
